So I went overboard for my husband's birthday cake. He said he didn't want me to fuss but I FUSSED.

It's a homemade confetti cake, with vanilla cake batter flavored buttercream. I topped it with Lindt Birthday Cake flavored truffles, and melted down some of them to make the drip; it's also my first attempt at a drip, so be gentle lol

I didn't have a cake stand, board, or any tools but an offset spatula and a piping bag, so the sides aren't as clean as I would have liked. He loved it though! My only wish is that I hadn't put as much frosting in the middle!

    Honestly, its not perfectly smooth sides suit this cake. If you hadn’t said it wasn’t on purpose, I would’ve assumed it was a design choice.

    What a great cake! Look at that smooth top. He’s going to love it.

  6. I like the fat frosting slab layer honestly, I definitely think it’s a good thickness for that number of layers.

    The cake texture itself looks so damn good so mad I can’t have a piece.

    Idk, I think it’s the perfect amount of frosting inside.

    Sending happy birthday wishes to your husband and my compliments to you for the fun and festive birthday cake you made to celebrate the occasion! Personally I think you used the perfect amount of frosting in the middle! 😁. And by the way, I had no idea there are Lindt birthday cake flavored truffles! I have to be on the lookout for them. They added a lovely detail to the cake and made for a perfect drip. You really did a sensational job and set the bar very, very high.

  13. Sweet baby Jesus that looks like heaven! Birthday cake truffles are my fave! Birthday cake flavor anything is my fave. What time is dessert being served? I’ll be right over. 😍 At a minimum can I have the recipe? And it looks perfect to me!
